Agree. Zouma doesn't play in the PL anyway but in case we have Iva so Filipe can play on the left, Azpi on the right and Brana as a CB.

We can't be sure if it's serious.. He got a hard hit and probably lost a tooth or two but even in case of concussion he can be ready for the Stoke game.

Also, Puyol was strong as fuck while Aké is like a lightweight boxer. He seems to be very good as a LB or DM, I think we should stick at ass-kicking CB-s like Zouma. I can't see Aké as a CB against teams like West Ham(Sakho, Valencia, Carroll) and Stoke(Diouf, Crouch).

It's hard to predict.. Mourinho said he would select a strong lineup but what does that mean? I don't believe Diego or Oscar will start.

Aké is 1.80m, he will never be a CB in the adult team. Also, Mourinho claimed he will select a strong eleven tonight. My guess is: Cech Azpi, Zouma, Terry, Filipe Mikel, Aké Salah, Fábregas, Schürrle Rémy

Because Oscar is so ripped... He has probably gained some weight since we signed him but he looked like a 12-year-old boy in 2012 but didn't struggle in the Premier League. I don't think being bulked up is that important. If he got the talent he will make it.

Just scored his 6th goal for Vitesse. Groningen - Vitesse 0 - 1 HT Josh is a starter too, Wallace is missing.

I'd accept a 3-3 or a 4-4. If only Vidic and Mascherano played today! Those morons always picked up a red card in MU-Liverpool.

The only problem is that he had like two good games(Schalke and Aston Villa) this season, 15 average and 5 completely shit..

Yes, he has a minor injury.

They miss Pat.

He would be perfect with Balotelli, Borini and Lambert What a garbage quartett.

Well, someone should have been sacked at Chelsea too for paying so much money for your son.

It's like it had been ages since he left but he was a Chelsea player a year ago.. What a player he was!

Don't forget the bench: Mikel(gk), Mikel, Mikel, Mikel, Mikel, Mikel, Mikel

They are good examples but where were Drogba, Reus, Makelele, Diego Costa, Falcao or Yaya Touré at the age of 20?

Do you really want Giroud to join Chelsea?? I wouldn't even give Schwarzer for him.

He really wanted to leave Barca although he played 31 matches last season. I don't think he would get more minutes here. Matic and Fábregas seems to be untouchable, Mikel and Ramires are good covers and we have good young players like Aké and Ruben. He is not a bad player and also a homegrown but I don't think signing him would be a good idea.

TORRES SET FOR RETURN? More Chelsea news now which is sure to shock! Fernando Torres could be set for a surprise return to Chelsea if reports in the Daily Express are to be believed. AC Milan are plotting to terminate the Spanish star's two-year loan deal after growing tired of his inconsistent performances. Filippo Inzaghi's is reportedly looking at possible replacements for the striker, who his hit just one Serie A goal in 10 appearances. :D It's ridiculous.. How could he fucked this up? Milan, which is a midtable team now, got a striker for free but he is so bad that they want to send him back...

We have Rambo too. Hull will probably park the bus against us, the Kenians energy and runs could win the match.

He was a right back at Vitesse, wasn't he? Anyway, it's strange that he hasn't played a single minute for Köln. They didn't have world class CB's. We need to cancel his loan and find him a better team to save his carreer.

Kalas isn't even playing for Köln... Also, he only played one match for Chelsea in a whole season while Zouma has already played like 7, Mourinho obviously trusts him more. Back to Varane: forget him already, you guys overrate him so bad...

I hope he'll get a few minutes against Derby too. Impressive debut.

He didn't really prove that he should be on the pitch more often...

Fábregas will not play against Hull and he is likely to miss the Carling Cup-game, I think he will play 90 minutes today, there is no point resting him.
